They are holding an all-night party at what used to be the main Soviet-era post office in Moscow where they will showcase their favorite prop, a triptych of Putin, Trump and French Front National leader Marine Le Pen.
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Yes, a long time ago”.
“It’s weird, but it’s great, and for the first time ever Russians are applauding the victory of a U.S. presidential candidate”.
Savage then asked, “If you win the presidency, do you feel you can do business with Vladimir?”
Putin ridiculed those behind the dossier for alleging Russian spy agencies collected compromising material on Trump when he visited Moscow in 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant. I got numerous Russian leaders, the top people in Russia, honeslty …
Once president, what if Mr. Trump finds an unrepentant President Putin who continues to ignore and flout United States interests in Syria, the genocide for which Mr. Trump has excoriated Mr. Obama?

Instead, according to this view, Washington should set aside its ideological clash with Russian Federation to focus on other matters.
Poland’s leaders warmly welcomed the United States troops, but warned Trump not to cut any deals with Russian Federation at their expense – a fear felt widely across a region that the west effectively handed to Soviet dictator Josef Stalin at the 1945 Yalta Conference. Sales manager Kristina Glinina told ABC News over the phone that it is not the first time they have produced such expensive coins.
